The National Grange at its last SEES
sion provided for the extension o
the Order" through the Lecture De
partment. The work was placed il
charge of the Executive Committe,
and the Lecturer. After careful con
sheraton the following plans hav,
been agreed upon, and are alread,
being carried out: The "field" wal
divided into four lecture districts, oil
nine States each. These Lecture Dis.
tricts to be under special supervision
and direction as follows:
The Eastern District, consisting oil
the States of Maine, New Hampshire
Vermont, Massachusetts,, Connecti-
cut, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Maryland, in charge OF
Mortimer Whitehead, with ID. ii.
Thing, of Maine, as Deputy Lecturer.
The Centre District, consisting OF
the States of Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kentucky,
Virginia, Delaware and Tennessee,
in charge of j. II. Brigham, who has
consented TO take the field as Deputy
Lecturer.
The Western District, comprising
the States of Iowa, Minnesota, Dako-
ia, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Col
orado, Oregon and California, in
charge of j. j. Woodman, with G. l..
Whitney as Deputy Lecturer.
The Southern District, consisting
of the States of Texas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Florida, South Carolina;
North Carolina, in charge of J. N.
Lipscomb, who as Deputy Lecturer
will take the field.
Those in charge of these districts
will arrange all the details of the lee
turing in their districts,
AL. four of these Deputy Lecturers
are now at work, and il is hoped that
during the year they will be able to
visit all parts of their various fields.
BY system ofleglslation granting
special privileges we have seen in
this country hundreds of millionaires
created during the past twenty-five
years, who have been permitted to
absorb the profits of agriculture,
which is not only robbing the farm
ers of the just rewards of labor, but
the communities in which il was pro-
duced as well. And while farmers
under this system, have been COM
PEELED TO contribute largely toward
making the rich richer, they them
selves have gained but little in pro-
portion to the wealth they produced.
L is true there are many who have
made reasonable additions as profits,
md it is equally true that many more
ave gained but little-thousands
rave It gained one per cent. per an
lum oil labor and capital employed.
Masters of State Oranges, Secre-
aries, Lecturers, Deputies and other
workers are greatly aiding the Lee
urer of the National Grange by for
varding Grange news and items. II
. this true spirit of cooperation that
lids and cheers us in our work. One
direction is necessary here aud most
heerfully made. The Worthy Sec
rtary of tue Indiana State Grange
id not say "By joe" as reported a
week or so ago. No more able Sec
elary or more faithful worker can
re found anywhere in our Order than ,
Brother j. II. Walker, of Indiana.
Question for discussion by Oranges
10 what extent should the owner
hip of land be limited in the United
states Landlords and bonanza farm
RS are fast driving the small toilers
f the soil to the wall, and unless
init is soon put to land ownership
ur country will soon be a nation of
ew landlords and many tenants.
